The Strange Marriage of the NDP with Islamic Radicals

This article by Barbara Kay should be a must read for all Canadian voters. One of the key paragraphs is this one:

It soon became apparent that the particular political focus of all three of the speakers is the NDP, which has shamelessly courted and integrated into its inner circles Islamist Muslims with views that are antithetical and even dangerous to the continued health of Canadian values. Fatah has watched in frustration as Islamists in the NDP pursue a relentless campaign to instill a sense of victimhood in Muslim youth.

Preaching victimhood has ALWAYS been my major problem with the NDP and other like-minded socialist parties. The danger here is that they are actually helping to push a visible minority in Canada further to the fringes. Cynics say this is to achieve more power via the voting booth. I tend to think it's just blind ignorance on the part of those in the NDP.

Count me with the cynics.

I think it's both, they want more votes and they're ignorant.
